Genesis 3:1 KJVS
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Satan was the subtle serpent in the garden, and Satan according to Revelation Chapter 12 verse 9 is the ole serpent that will be cast out of heaven with his fallen angles at the beginning of the five- month long hour of temptation at the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet, just two and a half months before he makes his appearance as the antichrist in the middle of that five month period at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet . Satan is not a literal serpent but it is a name that best describes him. Here in Genesis Chapter 3 is where we see the serpent subtily beguile Eve by convincing her to go against God and what He commanded.
Genesis 3:2-5 KJVS
“And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Adam and Eve were commanded not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil who is Satan, and Eve in verse 3, told Satan that God said “Ye shall not eat of it, niether shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
Let us look at the word touch in the Hebrew.

Strong’s Definition
A primitive root; properly to {touch} that {is} lay the hand upon (for any purpose; {euphemistically} to lie with a woman); by implication to reach (figuratively to {arrive} acquire); {violently} to strike ({punish} {defeat} {destroy} etc.): – {beat} (X be able to) bring ({down}) {cast} come ({nigh}) draw near ({nigh}) get {up} {happen} {join} {near} {plague} reach ({up}) {smite} {strike} touch.
We see here that touch in the Hebrew dictionary is naga which euphemistically means to lie with a woman.
If we go to the New Testament we see Paul speak of Eves beguilment in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 11.
2 Corinthians 11:2-3 KJVS
“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. [3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
Let’s look at beguiled in the Greek dictionary.

From G1537 and G538; to seduce wholly: – beguile deceive.
Beguiled means to seduce wholly. Eve was physically seduced by Satan.
Back to Genesis Chapter 3.
Genesis 3:6 KJVS
“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Eve was convinced that the deception from Satan was good, and that Satan was pleasant to the eyes which showed her attraction to him. She then took of the fruit of the tree which showed her belief upon that deception and did eat by allowing herself to be wholly seduced by Satan. She then gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Paul states in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 11 verse 3 ” But I fear lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ,”
Perhaps Eve being beguiled by Satan is prophetical type used for the third who are Christians when they will be giving and taking in Satan’s deception during the Sixth Trumpet, which is being with child (Satan’s deception) and giving suck, in those days (Matthew Chapter 24 verse 19) before the true Christ returns at the Seventh Trumpet.
As the serpent beguiled Eve, the third of the world who are Christians minds at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet will ultimately be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ by worshipping Satan as the antichrist.
Continuing in Genesis Chapter 3
Genesis 3:7 KJVS
“And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.”
Adam and Eve knew that they were naked because of the act they performed with Satan. They also sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons to cover their nakedness. I do not think this was the result of eating an apple. Here in verse 7, we see that Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to hide their nakedness which I believe them using fig leaves is in reference to the fig tree generation that began in 1948 when the fourth trumpet began to sound which lines up with the Hidden Dynasty of Religion.
To be continued.
